bastyon.com is great, it is a decentralized twitter, they have an open source app as well


Definitely Mullvad, the whole point of VPN is to stay private and Proton does not accept crypto while Mullvad does.

If the VPN has your payment details then any privacy just goes out the window.


Money is a tool to store energy and use it at a desired time. Fiat is a banker scam which steals from everyone and funnels profits to the elites. The reason for so meany people’s misery is the current system, it is designed to siphon everyone’s productivity without anyone noticing. Only highly intelligent and aware people can see this scam. Most think this system is designed to help them when the opposite is true and all objective metrics show it.

You have no understanding of the technology. Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin and it has instant secure transactions there is no need to wait for any clearing.

I was telling people about Bitcoin back in 2011 and most of them laughed, now I am telling people about Bitcoin Cash and some still laugh, but they will not be laughing for long.

Now you have some knowledge which 99.99% of the population will be wishing they were informed about in 5 years from now. If you have a half a gram of humility you will do some research into Bitcoin Cash and then load up on some. 😉


This is delusional. The real solution is money that cannot be corrupted by some politician’s or banker’s decree.

Open source technology and cryptography gives us this ability. Now the playing field is leveled, ordinary people can hold and transact real value without some crook reaching into their pocket.


That is a lot a “should”. Unfortunately that is not how the world works. So the solution is money that cannot be corrupted by scumbags in government or business. Hence cryptocurrency.


You think that current government is not controlled by dollar signs? The state is just a tool of the banks and the military industrial complex, all they do is lie in order to conduct mass murder.

Crypto is our opportunity to put power and control back into the people’s hands by ripping control over currency from banking and corporate interests.


I do not care what you use or prefer. That is the whole point of competing currency. But you do not get to tell me what currency I have to use. The violence based era of the fiat scam is coming to a close.

How many dollar scams are there, how many dollars have been taken from customers?


Who owns infinite fiat currency? Oh, right, the elite. You have been duped into defending your slave masters.


Are you such an ignorant buffoon that you think current government is not controlled by dollar signs?

The state is just a tool of the banks and the military industrial complex, all they do is lie in order to conduct mass murder.

You are a fool. Crypto is our opportunity to put power and control back into the people’s hands by ripping control over currency from banking and corporate interests.


Private governance cannot be any worse than current governance, maybe we will get less mass murder known as war.


The dream has already come true and is getting better by the year. Sorry you completely missed out, hopefully you look outside of the box the elites have crafted for you.


Let’s not call for imprisoning people based on some arbitrary demographic. It borders on bigotry.


The point is anytime a revolutionary technology comes around most people are scared because they have no clue. Just like when the internet came politicians were going nuts because they had no clue and were scared.

You have no clue how fiat currency works and will continue to have no clue about crypto until intelligent people figure out how even the clueless can use it. Then you will just use it because the alternative will be horrible.

I was telling people about Bitcoin back in 2011, it worked out pretty well. 😉


You do realize that there are 1 million time more scams conducted using government controlled currencies, why are you not raging against the USD scam?

You are basing your crypto opinions on mainstream trash info. Crypto requires deep research to actually understand and you will be using it within 10 years regardless of your current opinion.


Like it or not crypto is the future of finance. Learn it or be left behind.


This is great news. Brave is a great browser, block all the trash ads by default plus has many enhanced privacy features. 👍

Switched to the f-droid version, one less app that I need to pull from Aurora 😃


I see you edited the comment, suspect. Anyway there is only one instance so it is useless to tell someone about haveno and not mention the only usable instance.


Haveno is exchange software it is not an active exchange where you can trade. RetoSwap is the Haveno instance that is running an actual usable exchange.


All of fiat is a scam, I’ll take my chances with crypto.



There is a decentralized and anonymous exchange where you can buy Monero for fiat currency. https://retoswap.com/

If you already use a common exchange the best is to buy Bitcoin Cash then run it through CashFusion to break the link, then you can use it to pay for goods and services privately.

Thanks for the info, this likely explains why they dropped private payments. Large corporations hate privacy for their customers but love it for themselves.


I was speaking of plausible deniability on the social level not from a criminal perspective.

A VPN would stop them in their tracks because there would be no logs to read except you connecting to the VPN on the ISP side.

You can also use a VPN -> Tor -> VPN in which case it is almost impossible to trace anything unless you examine the whole internet connection map which is thousands of hours of effort.


Thanks for the reasonable and level headed reply. Sick of hearing “they are already tracking every thing” from numbskull TV watchers.

Still the point remains, if you are advertising yourself as a pro privacy service and not accepting crypto you are suspect and should be avoided. All points considered crypto is still the most private way to pay.

If anything they should be dropping credit cards due to privacy concerns.


No one is going to go through all that effort to make sure it is me doing the browsing for marketing purposes. You are talking about thousands of hours of work.

I am not talking about doing anything criminal. I am talking about using an easy anonymous form of payment to thwart the vast majority of general spying.

The point being is if your VPN refuses to accept crypto it is most likely because they are selling your data and they cannot sell it for any good price if they do not know who you are explicitly.


When you pay with crypto you have plausible deniability. Your IP is not you and you can just say someone visiting was using your connection.

It would cost thousands of dollars, if at all possible, for someone to prove you are the actual person behind an IP, if you pay with legacy payment systmes you are legally confirming that it is you.

Thus for marketing purposes your IP is totally useless. So it remains a fact that paying for VPN with crypto is the only way to go.

It is best to use crypto everywhere possible anyway as the legacy financial scam system crumbles.

Cryptocurrency is the only private form of payment online period. These guys are total hypocrites, they will likely be selling your online activity to anyone willing to pay so they stopped accepting crypto because if you pay with crypto they cannot profit from your data easily. ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Frealbitcoin.cash%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc90ddd7f-0073-459e-8d75-31957b824634.png) Here is their chatroom if you want to stop by and let them know what you think about this https://matrix.to/#/#azirevpn:xmr.se

Best thing to do is just to try it. Backup up your data and install Linux. Use Linux Mint.


Looks like it’s time for us to step up and fund what we like and use.



https://retoswap.com/ is the functioning instance of Haveno DEX. The main project does not run a live network.


Would be awesome if Freetube could automatically check if the video exists on Odysee and play it from there if YT copy is unavailable or blocked.


Really glad I do not have a google account and avoid all of their services. 🙂


Yes, Odysee is much better than YT, they will not block you for using a VPN and you can use burner a email to sign up. They also do not have annoying ads every 3 minutes, they have zero ads. Sad that so many creators refuse to post their content on other platforms and continue to support YT’s tyrannical monopoly. Still there is a pretty good selection on there.


Not sure about the privacy of Presearch but their results are really good. A few times already I was searching for something I know existed out there and only Presearch was able to find it.


It’s KeepassDX for me, works great. If there is an F-Droid alternative then that is what I use.



Great job, it starts with us. If you want it done then do it. 🙂



By “respect your privacy” I mean no personal data is collected. So as long as you are not putting personal details about yourself in the queries and use a VPN you can stay pretty anonymous while using the service.


Not sure about using visa gift cards, but there is Haveno DEX branded as RetoSwap which is a peer to peer exchange with many different payment methods available. https://retoswap.com/
